Physicists have transformed a decades-old technique for simplifying quantum equations into a reusable, user-friendly ...

Quantum mechanics and general relativity are the two pinnacles of 20th-century physics. In their respective fields, ...

It's one thing to dream up a quantum internet that could send hacker-proof information around the world via photons superimposed in different quantum states. It's quite another to physically show it's ...

A subtle timing flash may expose the Unruh effect. The approach ties ordinary lab tools to deep quantum physics. Researchers ...

Here’s what you’ll learn in this story. A new paper uses a simplified model to prove that gravity can be unified between quantum and standard physics. The simpler model still meets the established ...
